Gimme a break


I got this in the mail today, ouch. I get a lot of junk mail geared towards my age group: Buy our insurance, join the AARP and so on.

But a scooter?

I'm an old fart guy, but a scooter?

What kind of junk mail do you get?

  1. I get a lot of junk mail that would appeal to a youthful, virile kind of guy.

  2. Grow old along with me; the best is yet to be.

    Batteries not included.

    Trust me; it gets worse. While many sell your data, our government gives it away. As soon as you provide the data to get SS, you go on a mailing list from hell.

  5. Yup! Obviously, some kid hacked his ID. Just surprised he validated my surmise.

  7. I'm an old guy, too, but I'm not ready for a scooter, yet. Furthermore, I have a golf cart!

  9. I think I almost got run over by one of these things at the casino yesterday. It seems to appeal to the FFAAAATTTT people more so than the geriatric crown...

  10. I will confess I am a homer. That puts your blog in 2nd place.

    I'm sure it deserves being listed near the top of your bridge blogs.

  11. Well, I'll look at the half full glass for you double M.

    They aren't pestering you with tons of 'little blue pill' mail right!

    So you do have that going for you.

  12. Gotta realize, those characters are looking for the Medicare set. People can't afford them on their own but if Medicare will pay they figure what the hell. I know someone who has one and doesn't use it but got it because the government paid for it. One of the first guys to bitch about the Dems and government spending and taxes too. So they are basically looking to make a medicare sale not looking for you to buy one because you need it.

  14. They obviously haven't seen you get around!

    I love it when I get both penis enhancement ads and Viagra ads. So ... they are telling me I am small and limp???
